ubuntu12.10 下手动编译emacs24.2

1.执行./configure命令出现如下错误： configure: error: You seem to be running X, but no X development libraries were found. You should install the relevant development files for X and for the toolkit you want, such as Gtk, Lesstif or Motif.

1.执行./configure命令出现如下错误：

configure: error: You seem to be running X, but no X development libraries
were found.  You should install the relevant development files for X
and for the toolkit you want, such as Gtk+, Lesstif or Motif.  Also make
sure you have development files for image handling, i.e.
tiff, gif, jpeg, png and xpm.
If you are sure you want Emacs compiled without X window support, pass
  --without-x
to configure.

根据提示是缺少X windows系统的开发库。那么只有把依赖的库安装上才能通过configure了。

2. 使用 apt-cache search libgtk*，搜索软件仓库中包含libgtk的有哪些包，我选择了libgtk-3-dev。执行apt-get install libgtk-3-dev。

3.安装X window的开发库后，再次./configure，又出现以下提示：

configure: error: No X toolkit could be found.
If you are sure you want Emacs compiled without an X toolkit, pass
  --with-x-toolkit=no
to configure.  Otherwise, install the development libraries for the toolkit
that you want to use (e.g. Gtk+) and re-run configure.

提示未找到X toolkit。

4.在configure中增加编译选项，./configure --with-x-toolkit=gtk3，这次配置未提示上述错误，但又出现下面错误：

The following required libraries were not found:
    libXpm libjpeg libgif/libungif libtiff
Maybe some development libraries/packages are missing?
If you don't want to link with them give
    --with-xpm=no --with-jpeg=no --with-gif=no --with-tiff=no
as options to configure


提示缺少libXpm libjpeg libgif/libungif libtiff

5.利用apt-get install 将上述缺少的包及其开发包安装后，继续./configure，还有错误：

configure: error: The required function `tputs' was not found in any library.
These libraries were tried: libncurses, libterminfo, libtermcap, libcurses.
Please try installing whichever of these libraries is most appropriate
for your system, together with its header files.
For example, a libncurses-dev(el) or similar package.

提示缺少必须的函数'tputs'，有可能在libncurses-dev中，那么尝试安装这个包，再configure

6.这种终于配置成功，终端有如下提示：

config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating lib/Makefile
config.status: creating lib-src/Makefile

7.make，make install 安装成功

整个编译过程，主要是仔细查看configure的输出，看缺乏哪些库，只要把缺乏的库安装上，就能configure成功，这是关键。
